It’s really hard to pick my favorite fruit, but if I had to pick one it would be mangos. But, technically avocados are fruits too…so avocados.

This salsa pairs my two favorite fruits in combination with some delicious citrus that really makes this salsa pop with a sweet and tangy flavor and a spicy kick.

This tropical salsa is great served as an appetizer with tortilla chips and is a game changer topped on grilled chicken, pork, or seafood.

This citrus salsa is made with some of my favorite tropical fruits: mangos and avocados. Spoon it over pan-fried tilapia or just set it out as an appetizer with tortilla chips and watch it disappear.
